<p>The present invention pertains to a supply unit for accommodating medical instruments. A middle part, which is located at an instrument ( 12 ) and is equipped with lateral guide surfaces ( 3 ), engages a height-adjustable middle part of the supply unit ( 1 ) with side cheeks ( 2 ) in an accurately fitting manner. So-called end position sensors ( 4 ), e.g., photoelectric cells, which send a signal to an evaluating and control unit when the height-adjustable middle part of the supply unit ( 1 ) has been moved upward to the extent that pins ( 14 ) arranged there are completely accommodated by complementarily designed pin mounts ( 15 ) at the middle part of the instrument ( 12 ), are provided at the middle part of the supply unit ( 1 ). The evaluating and control unit now releases a plug-type connection for the power supply ( 6, 7 ), for the data transmission ( 8, 9 ) and for the pneumatic supply ( 10, 11 ).</p> |
